Don Harper
This month we’d like to shine the light on Don Harper is one of our longtime Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) drivers. Don has been a member for about 7 ½ years, and has been driving for 5 ½ years. During that time he has become one of our go-to drivers driving multiple times a week, and sometimes several trips in one day. He first heard about the center from his mother-in-law, who is a Wii Bowler. She got him a membership and he came and joined the Wii Bowling league. He then remembered then Outreach Director, Holly Andrade, talking about TAP and how they needed drivers. He gave it a test drive, enjoyed it and has been doing it ever since. He loves driving, and loves the people. He thinks of this as his job, but a job he enjoys. The clients love him too and has clients who ask for him. Originally from Fort Worth, TX, his mom brought him out here when he was two. He inched his way over from Blythe, to Beaumont, to Highland. We are thankful that his travels brought him closer to us. Thanks Don for driving that extra mile for us!

Golf Tournament just around the corner
By: Mike Sylva
As the east coast grapples with several feet of snow, here on the west coast, and in particular, the Highland Senior Center, we prepare to golf. Our 25th Annual Golf Tournament will be held next month, on Thursday, April 16th. East Coast - Shoveling snow. West Coat - tapping in a birdie.
Applications are already and player divisions are filling up fast, but there are still some slots available—so sign up soon. There is the Regular Division, the Senior Division, and the Law Enforcement Division. The tournament will again be held at the San Bernardino Public Golf Course and promises to be filled with blue skies and lots of prizes, so mark your calendar.
